Package: prosody
Version: 0.9.7-2+deb8u3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When prosody is not running, 'logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf'  fails with

    Job for prosody.service failed. See 'systemctl status prosody.service' and 
'journalctl -xn' for details.
    error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/prosody.log 
/var/log/prosody.err'

'journalctl -xn' returns:

    systemd[1]: unit prosody.service cannot be reloaded because it is inactive.


This is because /etc/logrotate.d/prosody does not check whether the service is 
running in
the postrotate script. I solved the problem by modifying it as follows:

        postrotate
                if /etc/init.d/prosody status > /dev/null ; then \
                    /etc/init.d/prosody reload > /dev/null; \
                fi;

Debian stable + backports, amd64
Can this fix be applied to the prosody Debian package? Thanks
